Abstract

Based on the concept of common-path/common-mode adaptive optics, the time-sharing wave-front-sensing adaptive optics system contains only one Hartmann–Shack (H–S) wave-front sensor, which detects two aberrations in the beam path alternately. After data fusion of the two aberrations, the actuator voltage of the deformable mirror (DM) is obtained. Four different data fusion methods are developed. How the disturbances of the slope data and the response matrix influence the DM’s actuator voltage in the data fusion methods is discussed, and the effective upper limits are given. Feasible data fusion methods are tested, and experiments verify that the performance of the system is good. The time-sharing technique is limited in sampling rate and is suitable only for corrections of slowly changing phases, because the H–S wave-front sensor’s sampling frequency must be adequate for the alternate detection of two aberrations.
